[121.], can’t forget the incense and peppermints for the downtrodden.

[123.]:

The US is the unhealthiest industrialized country, period.

Yes, and most of it is self-afflicted. Obesity in young and old alike is epidemic in the USA and the cause of numerous detrimental, chronic, quality-of-life-altering, expensive-to-treat health issues. All of the health care printed tax dollars can provide won’t cure gluttony and laziness.

[124.], obviously, madame, you’re part of the problem. Put down the greasy pork chops and donate them to the obese diabetics living on disability due to their inability to push their fat asses away from the table. Poor Whites, African Americans and Hispanics have the worst obesity problems and blaming that on lack of quality food is simply pathetic enabling.

How many people with piss poor personal habits do tax payers need to support? If you want to smoke, drink and eat artery clogging, diabetes and cancer inducing foods then, by all means, go for it, but, don’t expect any pity or money from me while you’re at it and don’t affect my health care and way of life because of your bad decision to not take proper responsibility for your own health. If you want to spend money on cigarettes, drugs, alcohol and junk foods then you better damned well be able to afford your own health insurance and if you’re uninsurable because of your habits, well, that is a little thing called ‘consequences’ for your own actions.

Take your government health-care ponzi scheme and shove it.

Thanks.
